“Nikki is fantastic! We’re so grateful for her flexibility and the love she shows our pups. She’s always prompt, responsive, and sends wonderful pictures. You can truly see her passion for dogs, which is the most important thing to us. We highly recommend her—she gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in great hands!”
“Claudia has cared for Milo at least five times now, and every experience has been outstanding. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands whenever I’m away. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely treats Milo like he’s part of her own family. She always pays attention to the little details, keeps me updated, and makes sure he’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The moment Milo sees Claudia, his tail starts wagging and he gets so excited—that says everything about the bond they’ve built. I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you, Claudia, for always taking such incredible care of my sweet boy. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pet as if it were their own!”

“Dwayne did a great job of watching after our fur babies! He was communicative, respectful of our home, and was flexible with us when an additional service was requested at the last minute. We will use Dwayne again in the future for sure!”
“Kyle was amazing with my doggie! I’m so grateful she came through for us when we needed a sitter for my out-of-town trip! I would recommend her to my closest family and friends!”
“We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!! Maya took great care of our pups + did me a huge favor and took out dinner from our freezer when I had forgot! 😂 We absolutely LOVE how many extra pictures she sends, and how she plays fetch with both our pups every time she comes over!! We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. My family had a farm where we raised pigs and cows, and growing up my grandma had 21 indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals throughout my life. My family currently has both a pug and a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I currently have two cats of my own, and one has epilepsy, so I’m also comfortable giving medication and following specific care routines. I understand how important consistency and attention can be when a pet has additional needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, medication, and plenty of attention. I like to meet pets beforehand whenever possible so they can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine, personality, and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable giving medication and caring for pets with special needs.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have cared for dogs and cats for more than 20 years. My wife and I currently have three cats, and I’ve also had dogs throughout my life. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, including administering oral and injected medications. Whether your pet needs an active walk, a consistent routine, medication, playtime, or simply some extra attention and companionship, I take the responsibility seriously and treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own. I work remotely in a role with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate most pet-care requests with sufficient advance notice. I’m generally available most days and can often be flexible with timing, although I may occasionally have a work commitment that I need to work around. If I’m unavailable for a particular request, I’m also happy to refer you to my wife, who is an experienced Rover sitter and may be able to help. While I don’t host pets in my home, I’m very attentive when caring for pets in their own homes. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and household rules. Before walks, I make sure collars and harnesses are properly secured, and I always pay attention to your pet’s behavior and surroundings. I respect your home and your pet’s space, and my goal is to provide dependable, safe, and stress-free care while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid, mainly dogs, a bird bearded dragon and some guinea pigs so a range of animals My schedule is pretty much open available anytime in very dependent so just let me know when you need me and I’ll be there for you I care for my pets at home every single day. I have two dogs at my house right now both pitbull labs in a bird so I take care of them pretty frequently.
About: Having been raised by a father who was a veterinarian, I’ve had experience raising and caring for various types of animals. I believe our fur babies aren’t just pets, but are our children, family, guides and protectors I recently resigned from teaching and only have to care for my kitty child Lyran, so I’m pretty free and available for most dates and times requested. Having a cat baby at my house, I would prefer to go to the clients house to care for their pets. I can make exceptions and keep a clients pet depending on the pet and requirements for care.
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs my entire life. Growing up with a dog at home since birth taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency in pet care. Beyond that, I had the incredible experience of assisting in raising a guide dog, which deepened my understanding of training, responsibility, and the unique bond between humans and dogs. These experiences have given me both the skills and the heart to provide exceptional care and create a safe, loving environment for any dog. I am currently a graduate school student with an extremely flexible schedule. I have large gaps in the afternoons with many days with no class. I would be able to accommodate lunch walk/bathroom breaks as well as morning and evening check ins if needed. I prioritize caring for pets exactly how their owners prefer. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any special needs to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment, and I’m happy to accommodate their usual routines as much as possible. My apartment also features designated dog play areas that are available for use, giving dogs plenty of space to exercise and socialize. Whether in your home or mine, my goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

Genesis was absolutely amazing from the beginning. We have two cats and they both warmed up quickly around her. She sent updates with photos and did everything we asked from her. We are so happy we found someone, who can check on our cats, when we are out of town. We'll definitely reach her out next time!! Thank you Genesis for your help one more time 😺😊
I had such a great experience with Cheryl! She was incredibly sweet, reliable, and communicative, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dog. She took such great care of her and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Dana provided absolute top tier service and made the entire process completely seamless! From start to finish, Dana was attentive, highly professional, and exceptionally helpful. Communication was clear and prompt, and every detail was handled with care and genuine dedication. It is rare to find someone who consistently goes above and beyond to deliver such a smooth, stress-free experience. If you are looking for someone reliable, skilled, and wonderful to work with, I cannot recommend Dana highly enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Riverview is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,623 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverview. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverview. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
